6.3.3 nFAULT Pin

The nFAULT pin has an open-drain output and should be pulled up to a 5V or 3.3V supply. When a fault is detected, the nFAULT line is logic low.

DRV8702-Q1 DRV8703-Q1 nFAULT Block DiagramFigure 6-5 nFAULT Block Diagram

For a 3.3V pullup the nFAULT pin can be tied to the DVDD pin with a resistor (refer to the Section 8 section). For a 5V pullup, an external 5V supply should be used. TI does not recommend connecting the nFAULT pin to the AVDD pin.
